Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you have a great Thanksgiving?  Were you with friends or family?

I had a fantastic Thanksgiving!  The days prior to Thanksgiving I went to tons of movies, ice skating and made yummy pies and sweet potato casserole.  We also had a few days of rehearsal for the Messiah performance.  On the big day itself, I went over to Allen and Andrea Probus' to eat and be with friends.  We had brunch around 11am, with amazing omelettes and Monkey Bread and then the real "dinner" was around 5pm, with turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, lime jello, and cranberries.  For dessert, we had pecan pie and pumpkin pie and apple cider.  So good...down to the last drop.  We played some string trios, and while the kids played with my Wii I brought, and after all was cleaned up, we watched the movie "Up".  What a blessed day!  :)

I had a slight sore throat that day, but it wasn't anything out of the usual, and felt much better if I was drinking water or cider.  When I woke up on Friday, I thought that I had stopped breathing.  Of course, I hadn't, but oh. my. gosh. I wanted to die.  I drove myself to the hospital and they immediately saw me.  Apparently I had a really bad case of strep, and my tonsils (the hanging down thing) was about the size of the end of my index finger.  No WONDER it felt like I couldn't breathe.  I immediately was given antibiotics and codeine for the pain, and I went to bed and pretty much slept for two days.  It's Sunday evening now, and although I have no desire to talk, or eat anything besides quasi liquids, I'm "feeling" much better.  :)  I'm sad that I had to miss the Messiah performance, and sad I couldn't pick my friend up at the airport on Friday. 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!  Enjoy the December month coming up TOMORROW!!!!
